Be Mom’s Favorite This Mother’s Day with Treat
Redwood City, Calif. — April 17, 2013 — Treat, the new greeting card service from Shutterfly, Inc., wants moms to get exactly what they want this Mother’s Day — and it’s not a generic store bought card. In a recent survey*, 60 percent of people told Treat that their moms would prefer a personalized Mother’s Day card over a standard store-bought card, and 71 percent said that their mothers would prefer a personalized gift on Mother’s Day. Treat has 475 Mother’s Day card designs and personal gifts including photo mugs, easel art and gift cards at top retailers.
The beauty of Treat is that you can give a card that is completely customized for your mom, and it’s easy to make, said Melissa Moody, Treat card expert. Simply add your own photos and message for a card that you’d never find in a store. That “wow” moment when Mom sees her name, photo and a personal sentiment is so much better than a humdrum store-bought card.
With more than 80 percent of people saying that Mother’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate any mother in their life, below are a few tips to make her feel special:
